Article Synopsis
- * The presented case resulted in significant spinal cord compression, leading to multisegment compression myelopathy, which is characterized by damage to multiple areas of the spinal cord.
- * MPNSTs often go undetected until late due to vague symptoms; diagnosis depends on MRI and histopathology, particularly noting S_100 positivity, with this case highlighting the need for awareness of spindle cell MPNSTs and their poor prognosis.
We present the case of an 18-year-old male with a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt for hydrocephalus who experienced right shoulder pain. The patient was thoroughly investigated for gastrointestinal disease, including abdominal ultrasound and upper endoscopy, which revealed no abnormalities that could explain his symptoms. X-ray imaging subsequently revealed that the shunt's distal peritoneal tubing was positioned in a supra-hepatic subdiaphragmatic location.

DC is frequently succeeded by cranioplasty (CP), a reconstructive procedure to protect the underlying brain and maintain cerebrospinal fluid flow dynamics. However, complications such as seizures, fluid collections, infections, and hydrocephalus can arise from CP.

- The study investigates the effectiveness and complications of different surgical techniques for treating symptomatic intracranial arachnoid cysts in 39 patients between 2009 and 2023.
- The main surgical options analyzed were cystoperitoneal (CP) shunt, endoscopic fenestration, and surgical resection, with varied success rates in symptom improvement.
- Findings indicated that endoscopic fenestration had the highest improvement rate (81.8%), while overall 61.5% of patients showed symptom improvement after surgery, showcasing significant variability in outcomes based on the type of intervention.
Objectives: Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is a common condition encountered in neurosurgical practice. Few studies have reported the characteristics of CSDH patients in the Middle Eastern population. We describe the clinical presentation, surgical management, radiological findings, and post-operative outcomes in our hospital.

Objective: This study aims to describe and analyse clinical features of intracranial abscesses patients treated at a tertiary hospital in North Jordan during a 10-year period.
Methods: We retrospectively identified 37 patients treated at King Abdullah University Hospital (KAUH) from 2011 to 2020 in Irbid, North Jordan.
Introduction And Importance: Primary Glioblastoma Multiforme(GBM) of cervical spinal cord represent an extremely rare type of tumors in the pediatric age group. Constitutional mismatch repair deficiency (CMMRD) patients are known to develop uni- or multiple synchronous-high grade gliomas in the brain.
Case Presentation: The authors report a 23 month old child presented with bilateral upper limb weakness for 7 days with imaging evidence of intramedullary mass lesion that extends from the level of the C3 to C7.
Introduction And Importance: Brown tumor (BT) is defined as osteolytic lesion of an underlying state of hyperparathyroidism. Hyperparathyroidism will activate osteoclasts which initiate active bone resorption foci of lytic-cysts with hemosiderin depositions that pigment it with its characteristic brown pathologic gross appearance. Devastating fractures and injuries can occur to affected bones and surrounding tissue that require emergent intervention and correction.

These defects are rarely multiple, and are characterized by loss of central nervous system soft tissue and bony coverings, along with herniation of the involved part of the CNS through the defect. CASE REPORT A newborn female infant was delivered through planned cesarean section due to large occipital encephalocele diagnosed antenatally.
